Stiffness

[Ericka_Terrell]

I'm 32 weeks and so ready to meet my little man. I have been going through so much lately,  that I feel he will take all the negative stiff away.  I have been having contractions for while now,  I'm in 2 medications and take weekly shots; all for contractions. I have been having alot of pain in my pelvic area and some crazy swelling.  Any suggestions on how to relieve the pain? If I sit more than an hour I will be so stiff.

I have tried the stretching... that doesn't seem to work. Just brings years to my eyes. I go see my OB this Wednesday I will see what he says. I will always try the warm baths. It's too the point that even when I wake up from a nap or in the morning... I'm hurting.  My goal is to keep my honey bunny in the oven till I'm at least 37 weeks. After that... He needs to make some decisions. Lol

I have a lot of swelling and pain in my pelvis too. I try to have a good stretch session on the floor for about 25 minutes a night, that seems to help a lot. Also walking (just for 10 minutes or so) helps me too, any more than that and my feet hurt because they're swollen, but 10 minutes seems to be just enough to get my legs loosened up. If you can't do that maybe a warm bath would help? I'm 34 weeks, I tried the bath thing but sitting in there just makes my back hurt lol
